We have completed the primary readers lessons and are about half way through the intermediate reader lessons. I have preschoolers all the way up to 5th graders and have so far been able to read all the books (in the lessons) with them all together as a family. Overall the books have been really well thought out and we end up having deep, thought provoking questions/discussions over each book. All of the kids have participated according to their ability and have loved all the books. The only book we weren’t particularly fond of was The Seven Silly Eaters. Their favorites so far have been Wilfred Gordon McDonald Partridge by Mem Fox and The Hundred Dresses by Elenor Estes. The discussions and heart changes that happened after these two books were beautiful. Highly recommend this study!

This study is EXCELLENT. Highly recommend it. I divided it into seasons and we loved reading the books in that order. I also included the Obadiah trio with the Early American History study we did with BF books and it fit perfectly. I have 2 younger children still to come and can't wait to do this with them again someday.

So far we have really loved the books we have read. I will say there are a few books that are geared toward specific genders however I have a boy and girls so for our family that worked out well that I bought all the books. I will not have my girls read "The Whipping Boy" or "The Happy Prince" or "The Little Prince". As a girl myself I would not have wanted to read those as a child. As for my son, he will not be reading "The Hundred Dresses" or "A Gathering of Days" but otherwise we have loved this as much as the Elementary study.

I'm so very grateful to have discovered this reading pack! We love the included books. My daughter asks to read them again and again. The guide contains more wonderful suggestions for favorite children's books and the study notes are perfect for diving deeper into the lessons each book contains. We are also enjoying the Scripture memory. Thank you, Rebecca Manor and Beautiful Feet Books!

We started with the Teaching Character guide when my oldest was in 1st grade and absolutely loved it. This year, his 4th grade year, I thought it would be nice to read the books that go along with Teaching Character for the older children and was pleasantly surprised that I had what I needed already! Reading the books suggested in this guide is my absolute favorite part of our homeschool day (I think the same goes for my son). They are wonderful, rich stories that I think will stay with my boys for a lifetime. I thought they would scoff at a book entitled “The Hundred Dresses.” Instead, my 9 year old son said “do we own this book? We should!” I check most of the selections out from the library but I must admit, these books are treasures and I kind of wish I had bought the literature packs made available by BF. My younger son is now in 1st grade and I look forward to going back and reading the selections for the younger children all over again with him. Other than this guide, we also own the Around the World with Picture Books guide from BF and I can say with certainty that their guides and literature packs are a wonderful addition to any homeschool family. I’m ready to buy the US History pack next!
